Gürlek emphasized that the fact that the historically significant investigation initiated during his tenure as the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor has reached the trial stage is a concrete indication of the resolute will that Turkish justice has demonstrated based on international law.
Gürlek noted: "Under the strong leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Republic of Turkey clearly and unequivocally demonstrates its stance against oppression not only in the field of diplomacy but also in the realm of law. No one can hide behind their position the weight of the crime they have committed. The planned and systematic attacks on civilians by Netanyahu and his massacre network, as well as serious offenses such as crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, and looting, will definitely be held accountable in the eyes of the law. As the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Turkey, we will continue to follow every action that wounds the common conscience of our citizens and humanity. We will continue our determined struggle within the law to establish justice."
